'Remembering the Now and the Never', an exhibition of works by Paddy Walsh opens in the City West Library on Tuesday 4 March and runs for the month.

Paddy has always been interested in painting and drawing but only began to take it seriously in his late thirties. For the next six years he worked in watercolour and oils in a mainly traditional style. Wising to develop further, he enrolled in the ACCESS Art and Design course in Cluaine Mhuire Campus, GMIT. There the tutors stressed the importance of developing one's visual language by means of much research, using every type of surface and mark maker possible.

He still retains a keen interest in the landscape and people as his inspirational sources and, since his GMIT experience, has added the elements of memories, dreams, imagination of things distant and fantastic, not to mention a certain black humour and the modern dream maker, television.

'Remembering the Now and the Never' brings together all aspects of his work so far and explores the relationship between what is termed the real world and the world of inner space and how they might come together as one.
